Let's Talk
About Joy Mpofu
I’m Joy Mpofu, a COO and coach. I began my career in investment banking, became a VC-backed founder, and now help young professionals navigate their own career journeys.
​
I started my career at Morgan Stanley, where I worked for 8 years and rose to Vice President. Craving more purpose and impact, I pivoted into startups, launching a VC-backed women’s health company and later serving as COO of a listed biotech business.
Over the past decade, I’ve:
✔ Built and led teams in high-pressure, high-growth environments
✔ Raised venture funding and launched a women’s health startup from scratch
✔ Operated at C-suite level, driving strategy, storytelling, and execution
✔ Navigated multiple career pivots, from corporate to startup to leadership. All while learning what it really means to define success on your own terms
​
I’m passionate about helping ambitious young professionals take control of their careers, especially those navigating change, growth, or uncertainty. I know how hard it can be to find clarity, build confidence, and make bold moves and I’m here to help you do exactly that.
How I can Help
I help ambitious young professionals gain clarity, confidence, and momentum in their careers.
Whether you're navigating a big decision, stuck in a transition, or just ready for what's next. Together, we'll work toward a clear goal in the following areas:
Career transitions
Feeling stuck or uncertain about your next move? I help you map your options, align them with your strengths and values, and take decisive steps toward a career that fits.

Big career choices can feel overwhelming. Promotions, leadership, new roles I help you take your next step strategically and with intention.

I’ll help you shape your professional story: for interviews, networking, or just feeling clearer about what you bring to the table. Learn how to articulate your value and tell your story in a way that opens doors.
